The Disease Woman: A Neutral Representation of Health?
This essay discusses the Disease Woman schema on folio 52v in Wellcome MS 290, a medical illustration often neglected in modern scholarship, and considers how it related to late medieval ideas about the gendered human body. The figure is positioned within its original manuscript context and compared to the other (male) bodies depicted, as well as discussed in relationship to other medical illustrations and contemporary scientific and theological theories. Through close study of formal features and intervisual analysis, this essay shows that the Disease Woman functioned not just to describe illness or ailments, but also to emphasise women’s inferior bodies and status.
